I'm so glad I live in a place where they never use salt on the roads. I had my 23 year old Honda up on a rack for an oil change and I'm not kidding when I say the undercarriage looks like new.
I recently purchased a '97 Chevy Express 1500 Conversion van from an old couple up in north GA (I too live in GA) and even though I'm accustomed to mint frames because south I still can't get over how clean the frame on this 24 year old Chevy is.
I am certain what we're presented with here is so-called ITC, Instrumental Trans-dimensional Communication, a well-described phenomenon within the paranormal community. Visual manifestations of spirit, the windshield acting as a crystal ball does when used for scrying. ITC occurs in abstract materials, either spontaneously or when spirits are summoned, to bring messages to the living. There's spirits all around us at an unconscious level; sometimes a portal opens up, and ancestors show themselves, this way obtaining some sort of 'life', in this case a future presence on line, a sort of 'eternal life'. We need to realize that the Internet is in fact a dimension in itself, a parallel non-physical part of reality, just as the afterlife. Actually there is an infinite number of dimensions, all real if surrounded with emotional, spiritual energy. The sky is also a dimension in itself, and spirits and Gods can manifest as anything, orbs, faces and figures or sounds. Mirrors, camera lenses or bodies of water can act as tunnels, portals, opening up to the spiritual unconscious realm, the afterlife. Please check out my detailed paranormal analysis, above.

The 3.7/4.7L engines aren't the same as the older 3.9/5.2/5.9L engines at all. Those are all "LA"-based engines that are all super-reliable. The newer engines are more powerful but they traded durability for power. They are designed much like a Ford 4.6L, with overhead cams and long timing chains. Heck, I remember when 5.2L and 5.9L Mopar V8s were simply called 318 and 360...lol.
I mean...I've had many ford 4.6s that has over 300k and ran perfect....and I havean 05 dakota club cab 4 door with the 4.7 and 4x4 ..216k and runs like new...
Heh. Man you're kinda spoiled with the overhead crane. Why back when I was ywr age we had to make do with a tree branch and a come along. Just joking around. This is actually really fun to watch. Thanks for sharing. Also give Beetle(spelling?) a scratch behind the ear for me. I'm a big softie when it comes to Yellow Labs. Mine's going to be exactly 2 years old on May 24th. He's a big boy now.🙂
I would definitely check your alignment dowels for position and where they stayed on each engine or trans. I would definitely keep the cats, transmission and transfer case from the donor truck. Chances are it's all still good. The oil pans on those trucks like to rot out on the engine and the transmission
Aw those cooling fan bolts are some strange size, so keep em safe. Great vlog and no tea breaks? need a tea break just to check stuff and reassess stuff, thanks for the vid.
GOod work. I have a respect for mobile mechanics who take their tools with them. I get nervous thinking of all the stuff I'd leave behind if I had to do that job away from my house!
I think that front fender corner on the driver's side is from the battery being up there. My 2001 did the same thing. It was an EXCELLENT truck though. I sold it to my nephew, he still drives it. Now if I could get him to PAY me for it.
I've got a 98 Dakota I got for free that I'm swapping an inline 6 diesel from a 93 Mercedes 300SD. Good to see other people doing swaps with these old girls
You definitely got lucky on that bell housing bolt. Whenever something is that adamant that it doesn't want to move there is usually a reason. As long as you learned from it and next time you run into a similar issue you stop and reassess it isn't a mistake, but a learning experience.
You should invest in a car hauler trailer. I have one and probably only use it a couple times a year but is super useful and not having to run around trying to get a trailer to use would be one less headache.
You should get one of those harbor freight winches, i got the smallest $40 one and was able to load an 89 vw cabriolet onto my trailer, the car didn't have front wheels or suspension, i just put a jack up front and pulled it onto the trailer with the winch. I secured the winch on the trailer with ratcheting straps, that little winch paid itself that one time, i love that it has a wireless remote.
*i'm glad you know that there is a difference in coolants. i don't know how many "professional" "mechanics" i've argued with about them not using the proper coolant and some just didn't realize the difference until i told them because they were too old school and just thought coolant was green regardless. but some to this day argue that there is no difference between dexcool and regular green coolant. i tell those people "i guess you can fix cars but you can't fix your stupid, not even with duct tape". and i just leave it there*
4.7 gets a bad rep, because people expect it to act like an old Mopar engine. It's not. You just have to know how to take care of them like you would a modern engine. Some "old school" people don't seem to understand this, and crap all over them. Here's what you need to know... 1. It's a SOHC with a timing chain, so it needs regular oil changes with the correct weight (light) synthetic oil. Don't worry about the oil pressure gauge at idle too much. Adding a catch can will drastically reduce the sludge build up too. You will need to change the timing set around 150k, or it will fail. 2. The 4.7 has aluminum heads and a cast iron block, so it naturally wants to corrode inside the coolant passages. You need to flush often, and with the correct coolant (HOAT). Make sure you drain the block using the two bolts by the freeze plugs, or you won't get all the old coolant out. If you neglect the cooling system you will overheat the heads and the valve seats will pop out. 3. There is no fuel filter, and the older ones weren't designed to run on ethanol fuels. The injectors are prone to clogging. Run a little fuel Injector cleaner/upper cylinder lubricant in every tank. I recommend Lucas in the clear bottle, at half strength. You would be surprised how much better a high mileage 4.7 runs after a few tanks. Personally I like the 4.7. They are light and make good power for their size. Look at the forums. These engines can go 250k plus, but you have to be good about maintenance. Good luck!
This video reminds me of a Roadkill video where they did an engine swap in a parking lot. You could be the next Roadkill. You just need to add some driving scenes and some amusing roadside repairs.
Being a dodge man I will never get a 4.7 because the timing goes all out of wack parts play ping pong and I don't like that. When I buy my Dakotas I look for a 3.9 or a 5.2 cause they are bullet proof
could u pull the motor easy with the fork lift itself? if u didnt have the crane inside? also seems like a strong bellhousing . thankyou for videos man my 2000 kota has 240000 but im thinking of going with the 5.7 hemi swap summit sells a whole kit to make it work everything u need but the engine itself.
Nice trucks...hey, I have a red fiberglass cap from my dakota club cab 4 door 5.5 bed if you're looking for one.i live in nh.but this seems like a waste of a good time truck.. I would have just got a motor from a junkyard with a warranty, like one that was still in the truck at the junkyard
Man if you lived closer I would have sold you my dakota for cheaper. 99 dodge Dakota extended cab I just passed 140k recently. Mine has the 5.2 magnum tho so I don’t know if the engine mounts and shit are the same. The body is no doubt rusty, but the frame is still solid. Lmk if you’re ever Minnesota lol
The engine blew up simply because that's what 3.7, 4.7 and 5.7 liter Mopar engines do. The same genius that designed the undersize oil returns and poor crankcase ventilation system on the 2.7L V6 evidently did the same thing to at least the 3.7/4.7L versions because they suffer the same problems: sludge, worn timing chains and spun bearings. Add to that loose valve seats in all three truck engines that cause the rocker arms to fall off and you have ample motivation to sell the red truck as soon as you get it running good. I suggest selling something out of your fleet and buying a car trailer. U-haul is a joke. Just because you get a "reservation" through their system does not mean you'll actually get the equipment at the designated time, place, or...at all! The fine print makes it clear that you are basically reserving a place in line to get equipment...that's it. I've used those b*stards plenty and it's always a hassle. There have been places where the "person that does U-haul" wasn't there at the moment or didn't know how to do reservations or couldn't hook equipment up. If I hauled more than one car a year I would have my own trailer. Add a power winch to that suggestion and not one of those for 4-wheelers. You have a 4wd truck so with a good trailer and a good winch you shouldn't be stopped by anything.
If you put green coolant in an engine that was running red coolant, or vice-versa, it will turn into jelly like you found. The two coolants do react together like that, so even if you've thoroughly purged the cooling system with fresh water before performing the coolant change this can still happen. As you've said, the jelly can block coolant passages and lead to severe overheating in the areas with the blocked passages that will end up ruining the engine. Overall, it's best to stick with the type of coolant that was the original fill for that engine or you risk ending up trashing it and, potentially, junking your vehicle or, at least, getting a big bill for a replacement engine...
I agree, but i have an 05 dakota clubcab 4 door v8 4x4, it had the green coolant whe I got it, and it never caked up, and the temp never got above half
Thankfully the bellhousing bolt was the weak point and not the bellhousing 🤦♂️🤭. Are you leeping or stripping the blue one as a parts truck or do you not have the space or the interest in that idea?
With you getting a new vehicle at least once a month, why haven't you invested in your own duel axle trailer? They aren't that expensive and would save you time/money vs renting or borrowing.
Considering how rusty the Dakota is, i wonder if an engine has ever been so rusty it had holes in it, I doubt it would be possible with the metals they use
What! You drove down in the Pontiac Vibe? Is your sister not around, or do you have to teach her to drive a stick shift, or was your generous offer of a reliable car refused? 8-)) I have one sister who drives a "standard", she lived in France where you have to learn it, and the other never did learn to drive a stick.

I'm so glad I live in a place where they never use salt on the roads. I had my 23 year old Honda up on a rack for an oil change and I'm not kidding when I say the undercarriage looks like new.
you are a lucky guy lol
I recently purchased a '97 Chevy Express 1500 Conversion van from an old couple up in north GA (I too live in GA) and even though I'm accustomed to mint frames because south I still can't get over how clean the frame on this 24 year old Chevy is.
Damn you ripped that engine out like a dentist pulling a tooth, 10/10 aggressive engine swap
Lmao
The red Dakota is one of the best red vehicles I seen
You should see my papals truck
Yeah my step dad has a grey one
And those things run forever
I'm very partial to blue, so I'd happily drive either Dakota if they both were in good shape!
My Civic is a nice red 2018 coupe
Man I watch your videos and they remind me so much of my youth with my brother. We were always swapping cars. Keep up the good work and videos.
600$ in Vermont! For a Dakota that’s one of the cleanest ones I’ve seen up here. Atleast in New Hampshire haha. Love the vids btw‼️✊🤘
I owned a red 4x4 Dakota with the 4.7 just like that one, it was a pretty quick truck, surprised a few people
Loved watching the engine removal. First time I've seen two straps snap on an engine removal. Can't wait to see part three.
The moving clouds reflected on the windshield are mesmerizing.

318/5.2 damn good engine
I mean...I've had many ford 4.6s that has over 300k and ran perfect....and I havean 05 dakota club cab 4 door with the 4.7 and 4x4 ..216k and runs like new...
The way that bolt broke was the best case scenario lol should have bought a lottery ticket after that
I was so happy lol, sometime rusty bolts are a good thing i geuss
Heh. Man you're kinda spoiled with the overhead crane. Why back when I was ywr age we had to make do with a tree branch and a come along.
Just joking around. This is actually really fun to watch. Thanks for sharing. Also give Beetle(spelling?) a scratch behind the ear for me. I'm a big softie when it comes to Yellow Labs. Mine's going to be exactly 2 years old on May 24th. He's a big boy now.🙂
Haha the crane is pretty nice
You kids are spoiled with those fancy tree branches, back in my day we got the engine out with our bare hands
I've spent days with two other guys and a cherry picker to do what he did -- wrong -- in a few hours all alone. Talented. And lucky.
0:51 woah there buddy, click it or ticket. Put on that seatbelt 😂 nah im kidding, safety third. Good video man 👍
I would definitely check your alignment dowels for position and where they stayed on each engine or trans. I would definitely keep the cats, transmission and transfer case from the donor truck. Chances are it's all still good. The oil pans on those trucks like to rot out on the engine and the transmission

That's a pretty nice truck you're swapping that engine into, it's in great shape, looking forward to part 4!
Been very much looking forward to another installment with the Koda. Keep up the great content 👍
I love your videos. I have no idea what you're saying half the time because I don't know cars that well and yet I have still watched every one.
GOod work. I have a respect for mobile mechanics who take their tools with them. I get nervous thinking of all the stuff I'd leave behind if I had to do that job away from my house!
Driving the Vibe... you're falling for a Toyota. Nothing wrong with that.
I think that front fender corner on the driver's side is from the battery being up there. My 2001 did the same thing. It was an EXCELLENT truck though. I sold it to my nephew, he still drives it. Now if I could get him to PAY me for it.
I can't believe it's the middle of May and this guy is still bundled up like it's December
May in Vermont... I still haven't gone outside in just a (long sleeved) shirt and I live in the big warmer valley!
Amazing projects and content, hope this channel gets more views. A lot of work gets into creating this content
experience comes at a cost...keep going, txs for sharing

Great work....i am very impressed....
Your smart and keep doing the amazing content I love seeing these videos
Do you ever just watch the video, and not desperately try to be first?
Yep
Good to finally see your face in one of these videos
You should invest in a car hauler trailer. I have one and probably only use it a couple times a year but is super useful and not having to run around trying to get a trailer to use would be one less headache.
You should get one of those harbor freight winches, i got the smallest $40 one and was able to load an 89 vw cabriolet onto my trailer, the car didn't have front wheels or suspension, i just put a jack up front and pulled it onto the trailer with the winch.
I secured the winch on the trailer with ratcheting straps, that little winch paid itself that one time, i love that it has a wireless remote.
Well that’s mighty white of the uhaul company to toss yah some loot for wasting ur time... 👌🤘fkin Minty bro

*i'm glad you know that there is a difference in coolants. i don't know how many "professional" "mechanics" i've argued with about them not using the proper coolant and some just didn't realize the difference until i told them because they were too old school and just thought coolant was green regardless. but some to this day argue that there is no difference between dexcool and regular green coolant. i tell those people "i guess you can fix cars but you can't fix your stupid, not even with duct tape". and i just leave it there*
4.7 gets a bad rep, because people expect it to act like an old Mopar engine. It's not. You just have to know how to take care of them like you would a modern engine. Some "old school" people don't seem to understand this, and crap all over them. Here's what you need to know...
1. It's a SOHC with a timing chain, so it needs regular oil changes with the correct weight (light) synthetic oil. Don't worry about the oil pressure gauge at idle too much. Adding a catch can will drastically reduce the sludge build up too. You will need to change the timing set around 150k, or it will fail.
2. The 4.7 has aluminum heads and a cast iron block, so it naturally wants to corrode inside the coolant passages. You need to flush often, and with the correct coolant (HOAT). Make sure you drain the block using the two bolts by the freeze plugs, or you won't get all the old coolant out. If you neglect the cooling system you will overheat the heads and the valve seats will pop out.
3. There is no fuel filter, and the older ones weren't designed to run on ethanol fuels. The injectors are prone to clogging. Run a little fuel Injector cleaner/upper cylinder lubricant in every tank. I recommend Lucas in the clear bottle, at half strength. You would be surprised how much better a high mileage 4.7 runs after a few tanks.
Personally I like the 4.7. They are light and make good power for their size. Look at the forums. These engines can go 250k plus, but you have to be good about maintenance. Good luck!
This video reminds me of a Roadkill video where they did an engine swap in a parking lot. You could be the next Roadkill. You just need to add some driving scenes and some amusing roadside repairs.
Being a dodge man I will never get a 4.7 because the timing goes all out of wack parts play ping pong and I don't like that. When I buy my Dakotas I look for a 3.9 or a 5.2 cause they are bullet proof
You find all the deals.
I only have one question... WHY DIDNT YOU TRY TO PUT A HEMI IN IT
He had a 4.7 so it's getting a 4.7 and depending on local laws it may not be legal
I turn off my ad block when I watch your videos.
🙏much appreciated
NO SHIT YOUR THE ONE THAT BOUGHT THE TRUCK I WAS LOOKING AT
Welcome to the red dakota club, I have 2 red ones.
Lots of work there, but you'll make a profit. See you still have the Vibe!
Yep ill get to drive it around for the summer while my sister is still home
You towed it in the warehouse with a motorized engine crane lol
Turn it into a stealth camping truck!
I thought you were great on Wizards of Waverly Place :)
Put some undercoating frame spray on it so it dont rust
It didn’t want to leave it’s body lol
Almost there.. :)
You lucked out at the end there.
definitely. I swear the other dakota didn't have that bolt lol
could u pull the motor easy with the fork lift itself?
if u didnt have the crane inside? also seems like a strong bellhousing . thankyou for videos man my 2000 kota has 240000 but im thinking of going with the 5.7 hemi
swap summit sells a whole kit to make it work everything u need but the engine itself.
Nice trucks...hey, I have a red fiberglass cap from my dakota club cab 4 door 5.5 bed if you're looking for one.i live in nh.but this seems like a waste of a good time truck.. I would have just got a motor from a junkyard with a warranty, like one that was still in the truck at the junkyard
Hellcat swap would be badass
💪🏼😎
Man if you lived closer I would have sold you my dakota for cheaper. 99 dodge Dakota extended cab I just passed 140k recently. Mine has the 5.2 magnum tho so I don’t know if the engine mounts and shit are the same. The body is no doubt rusty, but the frame is still solid. Lmk if you’re ever Minnesota lol
Took the intake manifold off of my parts truck today and it was full of oil and mouse poop
Now you need a white one red white and blue
I guess thirteen people really don't like dead mice.
Honestly, you should keep the new Dakota as a mobile service truck. Looks super clean for a northeast truck , plus it has a cap.
A mobile service truck? Why? What service is he going to do?
@@axtra92 he has a mobile mechanic service
seat belts make good engine straps
Cool video, forklift would have taken that old engine out too.
Ya but crane is cooler : )
I know this is an old video but it would've been way easier to pull that engine with the forklift forks and a chain lol
part 4 where are u already rewatched :(
The engine blew up simply because that's what 3.7, 4.7 and 5.7 liter Mopar engines do. The same genius that designed the undersize oil returns and poor crankcase ventilation system on the 2.7L V6 evidently did the same thing to at least the 3.7/4.7L versions because they suffer the same problems: sludge, worn timing chains and spun bearings. Add to that loose valve seats in all three truck engines that cause the rocker arms to fall off and you have ample motivation to sell the red truck as soon as you get it running good.
I suggest selling something out of your fleet and buying a car trailer. U-haul is a joke. Just because you get a "reservation" through their system does not mean you'll actually get the equipment at the designated time, place, or...at all! The fine print makes it clear that you are basically reserving a place in line to get equipment...that's it. I've used those b*stards plenty and it's always a hassle. There have been places where the "person that does U-haul" wasn't there at the moment or didn't know how to do reservations or couldn't hook equipment up. If I hauled more than one car a year I would have my own trailer. Add a power winch to that suggestion and not one of those for 4-wheelers. You have a 4wd truck so with a good trailer and a good winch you shouldn't be stopped by anything.
Ah, didnt know of these design flaws...yes my plan is to sell asap once i get the engine in. I'm working on the dual axle trailer, hopefully soon
what is the music you use at 4:09
If you put green coolant in an engine that was running red coolant, or vice-versa, it will turn into jelly like you found. The two coolants do react together like that, so even if you've thoroughly purged the cooling system with fresh water before performing the coolant change this can still happen. As you've said, the jelly can block coolant passages and lead to severe overheating in the areas with the blocked passages that will end up ruining the engine. Overall, it's best to stick with the type of coolant that was the original fill for that engine or you risk ending up trashing it and, potentially, junking your vehicle or, at least, getting a big bill for a replacement engine...
I agree, but i have an 05 dakota clubcab 4 door v8 4x4, it had the green coolant whe I got it, and it never caked up, and the temp never got above half
I’d undercoat the hell out of that thing to keep that thing pristine
Rule of thumb. If the whole truck leaves the ground. SOMETHING IS STILL BOLTED!!
My DAKOTA frame looks brand new but it has been a garage baby it’s entire life
It’s a 1999
It’s a 5.9 magnum
man, i need those fender flares badly for my red 2000 sport
wanna sell them?
they also dont have very good front tow points im gunna weld new ones for mine
That crane is brutal! Just WAY too fast.
I Think I saw your Silverado in white river junction today. but it could have just been a truck very similar to yours.
was it at randy's service shop?
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 yup
Thankfully the bellhousing bolt was the weak point and not the bellhousing 🤦♂️🤭. Are you leeping or stripping the blue one as a parts truck or do you not have the space or the interest in that idea?
Was the red Dakota a 2WD?
What happened with the engine?
Wow!
With you getting a new vehicle at least once a month, why haven't you invested in your own duel axle trailer? They aren't that expensive and would save you time/money vs renting or borrowing.
no time no money lol. I will soon though
Topper is a easy $300 all day alone
Did you tell they guy about your RUclips channel and if so I I wonder if he is going to watch it
I commented on the last video, could you please paint the one Dakota you are keeping 90s Dodge emerald green?
Probably not, sorry
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 No need to be sorry man, just wondered what color are you thinking?.
Like the red one better
Put the blown motor in the blue truck before you scrap it
Ya will do for the xtra weight
Bolt in? Nothing a gantry winch cant liberate
Considering how rusty the Dakota is, i wonder if an engine has ever been so rusty it had holes in it, I doubt it would be possible with the metals they use
sometimes the oil pans will rust through, not usually the block though
Hey buddy , email me back I lost your email and mailing address 🤦🏼♂️. Keep up the good work , great video , and I love the Dakotas !
Wait, im confused. your putting the dead engine from the red dakota to the blue one?
No im putting the working engine from the blue one into the red one. Then scrapping the blue truck and red engine
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 oh that's right, I forgot the blue one is the rusty one👍
Do you have plans on rust proofing it?
maybe an undercoating
A Rural Vermonter Have you heard of cavity wax?
Part it out, and find a 5.2 5.9 you'll thank me latter.
8:45 typo
What tools do you use?
husky, they are cheap and have lifetime warranty. dewalt for power tools
I’ve never heard of an instake manifold? Must be the combination of an intake and a mistake lol
How could you remove the AC condenser, I did not see you evacuate the system??
system probably had a leak a long time ago and was never fixed.
Was already empty
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 too bad, but 1 less thing you had to do
What! You drove down in the Pontiac Vibe? Is your sister not around, or do you have to teach her to drive a stick shift, or was your generous offer of a reliable car refused? 8-)) I have one sister who drives a "standard", she lived in France where you have to learn it, and the other never did learn to drive a stick.
Shes living with me for a few months so i get to drive it around when i feel like
Oh yeah, a big thumbs up for putting in text about what you are doing at the time, in the high speed section. I get lost watching those usually.
How much you want for the blue Dakota?
lol if you want it you can have it for $100, that's what the scrap yard will give it to me for
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 well I live in pa so it would be probably better to scrap it
Do you have a Patreon Account
not yet
You have the WORST luck with trailer gates/ramps!!
